This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Use it now to make Thai Green Curry – or keep it for later! Thai Green Curry Paste recipe! Usually, the main reason to make curry paste yourself is because you just can’t get the same intense, fresh flavour in a jar. And while that holds true for green curry paste, the other very big advantage is that you can control the spiciness without compromising flavour or the signature green colour....

You don’t need to be Irish to make this.😉 You just need to be a fellow Carb Monster! Rustic flavour, great crust, keeps well for days. Slather with butter, mop your plate clean, dunk into soups – or Irish Beef and Guinness Stew! World’s BEST No Yeast Bread! People say that the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven is one of the best things in the world. Forget the smell....

I like to BAKE my tacos to crisp the shells and melt the cheese before piling on the fresh toppings. Because melted cheese wins over unmelted cheese every day! Totally un-authentic Beef Taco Recipe! You will never find ground beef / mince tacos in Mexico. Authentic beef tacos are either sliced seared steaks (like Carne Asada), or marinated beef chopped into thin strips that are pan fried to get golden crispy edges (taqueria style), or slow-cooked and shredded into sauce like this Shredded Beef Mexican Beef and Beef Barbacoa....

Flavour packed everyday Burrito recipe! Having a stash of burritos in the freezer makes me feel smug. Along with homemade Frozen Pizzas, these are one of the all time ultimate freezer meals. Except burritos have the added bonus that you don’t even need to dirty a tray to reheat them, or a plate to eat them. Food you can eat with your hands always rates highly in my world!!! 😂 I call this Beef Burrito recipe an “everyday beef burrito” because beef filling aside, it’s a terrific one for adding in what you have and what you want....

Make this for dinner tonight, work tomorrow, or a leisurely weekend lunch with friends! Quick Chicken Salad If you’ve got the time, or are wanting to impress with an entirely “from scratch” main course size salad, I’d point you in the direction of one of these: San Fran Chicken Salad – my best, most impressive chicken salad. With Yogurt Ranch Dressing, snow pea shoots, fennel, pickled red onion and orange, it’s a copycat of a popular dish at Souvla, a trendy bistro in San Francisco; Mexican Chicken Salad – my second most involved chicken salad....

I like to wedge chunks of cheese in the batter so you get lovely pockets of cheese and the lovely textured crust on top. But you could just mix it through – even faster to prepare!! A terrific no yeast bread recipe I don’t often bake with yeast because it requires patience for the dough to rise. Oh, and the kneading. I’ve actually got reasonable upper body strength. My challenge is my height....

And don’t worry….this Chicken Stroganoff recipe makes PLENTY of sauce!! Chicken Stroganoff Beef Stroganoff is a retro classic we’ll love forever. However, a really great Beef Stroganoff does involve taking the time to slice the beef super thinly, as well as some deftness to ensure the beef is seared to perfection yet still juicy on the inside. Chicken Stroganoff, on the other hand, requires considerably less effort. Especially when you do it my way, searing whole pieces of boneless chicken thighs not only because it means less prep (ie no chopping), but also because by cooking whole chicken thighs, you can brown them really beautifully....

Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Sauce for Chicken Sun dried tomatoes don’t feature as much anymore as they should. Back in the 80’s they were ALL THE RAGE! But they never went out of fashion in my world. Throw a small amount into almost any meal and you get a wonderful burst of extra flavour. I use them to make a super quick 12 Minutes Sun Dried Tomato Couscous Salad, in creamy chicken pasta, I stuff ’em inside chicken breast and Chicken Meatloaf and I use then for pasta salads....

A sweet, impressive crowd pleasing dessert option – and just 47 CALORIES per piece! Chocolate Covered Strawberries How many times have you slaved away on a dessert only to find that: people are too full to have more than a tiny slice; friends who declare they’re on a diet (and we all know that January is all about NYE resolutions to be healthier!); or doesn’t suit certain dietary requirements?...

Today is the day after Thanksgiving and America is in a food coma. Can you imagine how many millions of pounds of turkey was consumed yesterday? A number I can’t comprehend! Though many Americans may be considering a) how to burn off Thanksgiving excess calories b) what to do with Thanksgiving Leftovers, those of us in the rest of the world are already focussed on another important matter: How to be the most popular person at any gathering for the upcoming holiday seasons....

USE FOR big leafy salads, chopped salads, to add flavour to beans and lentils, and infuse boiled, steamed and roasted vegetables with flavour – they suck up the dressing when hot! Salad Dressing This is my recipe for a basic salad dressing that I use virtually everyday – either as it is, or as a base to add other flavourings as listed in the recipe. 1 tablespoon vinegar + 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard + 1/2 each salt and pepper This will dress any salad for 4 people....

Are you ready to be amazed how easy it is to make Focaccia? It’s virtually foolproof! About this Focaccia recipe Focaccia – that dimpled, flat–shaped Italian bread generously flavoured with olive oil – is found all over Italy and varies from place to place. I was torn with indecision about what type of focaccia to share, but eventually landed on this particularly well-known type called focaccia barese from Southern Italy....

A sensational share platter meal option for gatherings – the Greek way! After more ideas? Browse all my roast lamb recipes! Greek Butterflied Lamb Leg Butterflied lamb leg is simply a leg of lamb with the bone removed so the meat lies flat and is relatively uniform in thickness. This means the lamb cooks faster than a traditional whole roast leg, as well as opening the leg up to all sorts of flavour possibilities....

The trick? Ice cold soda water for one. Also, cornflour plus flour. Finally a double-fry, fast becoming the worst-kept cooking secret to less greasy fried foods that stay crispy for hours! Honey Prawns that stay crispy for hours! Honey Prawns are a much-loved favourite at suburban Chinese restaurants and takeaway joints across Australia. Plump, snappy prawns are battered and fried until crisp, then tossed in a sweet and sticky honey sauce – those words alone will have anybody drooling!...

Kimchi Fried Rice Kimchi Fried Rice is as common in Korea as Chinese fried rice is in China. Every household makes it, and it’s a thrifty comfort dish that makes use of leftover cooked rice and kimchi from the fridge. Extra ingredients on hand are often added to keep things interesting. This fiery-red Korean rice dish is more bark than bite! While it is full-flavoured, it is not nearly as blow-your-head-off-spicy as one might expect....

No Bake Mango Cheesecake When I photograph beautiful cakes like this, it sometimes makes me wish I wasn’t the Queen of Brown Food. Salisbury Steak, Pot Roast, Beef and Mushroom Pie, Cottage Pie, Guinness Stew, Chickpea Curry, Lentil Soup…. if it’s brown-and-ugly-but-delicious, there’s a good chance I’ve already shared it and had the pleasure of trying to capture a photo of a pile of brown gloop so it looks as irresistibly delicious as it tastes....

Traditionally served on yellow saffron Risotto Milanese and topped with a fresh mixture of parsley, lemon and garlic known as Gremolata. But just as delicious piled over mashed potato! This is a slow cooked recipe that belongs alongside greats like Shredded Beef Ragu and Beef Guinness Stew. Osso Buco “You never have Osso Buco for me!!”, I pouted at my butcher. (“Never” being a bit of an exaggeration, but embellishment sometimes just pours out of me during desperate times....

TWO BIG TIPS: strain your eggs to discard the watery whites that create a mess in your pot, and use fridge cold eggs which have better structure than room temp eggs. Sunday Eggs Benedict, here we come! Biggest game-changer: Always strain your eggs The single biggest tip that will change your poached eggs life is to strain the eggs to get rid of the watery whites that creates a mess in the water....
